I was just talking to some of the staph about that the other day. As I was walking in, one of the folks working the door just shook her head and said "Why don't you just get a cot in here?". On an another occassion, I was told to just get the 'of age' stamp permanently tatoo'd on my hand.
Anyhow, we were joking that it would be probably be worth my while to get a "season ticket". So whaddya think Seth? :)
-
Im in...Really looking forward to it. Not familiar with Mercury Rev at all but Ive heard good things.
Ive heard phenomenal things about the Doves live show.
Will be very interesting to compare them to Snow Patrol the next night. Same type of sound, but I must say Im a little more excited for Doves.
Should be 2 great concerts back to back.

going a little off-topic (my apologies, brenn)..
what would the club have to charge for an annual pass? (this is totally hypothetical, i know capacity issues would come up if they ever tried this)
but you figure the average "hardcore" concertgoer sees around 30 930 shows a year. if they bought the annual pass, it'd go up to maybe 50.
avg price of show roughly $20 x 50...
a cool grand?
anyone willing to drop $1000 by dec. 31st to have carte blanche on all 2006 shows at the club?
(yeah, i'm bored)

The NorVa in Norfolk has a "VIP" pass which is basically +1 admission to every show and a special roped of balcony and I believe they charge $4000 for it.
Of course, their bookingss aren't as consistantly as high quality as 930's but just as a comparison...

good lord. i guess capacity issues don't arise at that price.
actually, you split it with another musicfiend friend of yours ($2K each)...and VIP...it's not that bad.

I would love to go tonite, but alas, I am ticketless. Unless someone out there is willing to have pity on little ole me? I do run what one DC lawyer recently called "DC's Pitchfork," if that helps. In other words, I have access to free tickets for other shows. Just not this one sadly.

I was thinking more along the lines of $3000 (3 shows per week x $20 show on avg x 52 weeks). As it is, I go to about 60 shows annually. I don't think I could justify going to doubling that..but I'd think about it if it meant *guaranteed* admittance to each and every show (incl unannounced secret ones, etc)
-
ill be there tonight, meeting up with kurosawa and cheshirecat at some point :) and ill also be there tomorrow night seeing snow patrol yet again!
-
I'd readily buy into a 50 show plan, as long as I was guaranteed access to the 50 shows I wanted to see. No exceptions, other than truly private gigs. I'd have a hard time justifying 100+ shows upfront though, both financially and the time required.
-
can we do the "weekend pass" too? haha.
I havent been to 930 since November, what a loser i am....

Me too, though even 50 may be too many for me. I see 50-60 shows a year, only about half or so at the 9:30. I also miss out on few shows I want to see, as I tend to get tickets early for something I'm excited about...
-
wow mercury rev were fucking AWFUL. their lead singer is a twat.
-
Here's a glaring example of "one man's garbage is another (wo)man's treasure." I thought Mercury Rev was awesome...I'd never heard them before, and I was won over by the end of their first song...sort of Radiohead, meets the Verve, with a touch of Bob Dylan. I bought their newest CD and I have to agree with the recent Wash. Post reviewer: It's way too low-key, missing the sonic/atmospheric background, but there are a few great cuts. I thought lights/video for both bands were fabulous...and my personal thanks to a wonderful crowd. Why can't all those polite, non-pushy, happy, semi-sober and mostly non-smoking folks show up more often?
Doves left me bored, wishing for more energy, excitement . I think we'll get some of dat tonight!! :D
-

Where were you Badsushi? I felt like I was at a Marlboro convention! Was surrounded by puffers. Other committments meant I missed the Rev, arriving a few minutes into the Doves set, which was ok. Crowd seemed into it, band seemed grateful but it still lacked a certain something. A fine concert but nothing particularly memorable about it (except for the mini-romance played out by the couple in front of me!).
Oh, and are the shows getting louder or am I getting older? I had to buy earplugs for both the GO4 and the show last night... :confused:
-
i have found that many of the britrock bands playing at the club these days are overly loud, me thinks they are trying to coverup something. at the phoenix/DDIHC/Long-view show the volume level went down as the evening went along.
-

Probably a little of both. I'm finding more and more shows to be unbearably loud these days. I'll admit that part of it is that I'm becoming a cranky old man, but the volume is definitely on the rise.
I found the Gang of Four show to be at a tolerable level though. But Radio4's volume sent me running to the Backbar after about 30 seconds. I could actually hear them fairly well downstairs.
-

yeah, thats when I bought em and just kept em in for the night
-
Underwhelmed by this performance. I thought the majority of the songs were very bland and really required very little from the drummer and guitarist.
I got into half the songs I would say but the other half was so boring I was spacing out. I was holding on to the last hope that they would bring the house down with "There Goes The Fear" but alas it was not to be.
Not a bad concert, just didnt live up to the last few shows Ive seen nor the high expectations I had for this show.
-
so does Radio 4 have pictures of people in compromising positions or something, because they are certainly boring as hell. i spent most of thier performance sitting on a couch watching them on a live video feed in nyc. the only decent song of thier was the last one "dance to the underground"
-
Overall a great show, with two very different styles of showmanship displayed on the stage. First, Mercury Rev which I can only take in small doses, impressed me with how rocking they played several of their songs, even with the excessive keyboard noodling...But the lead singer Donahue, I felt like I was at a promise keepers rally on acid with the horrific visuals behind the band flashing quotes from all over the map, my fave being "Do the best that you can" with a white bird slowly flapping, flapping...
Doves put on a great show I thought, very tight playing and some solid songs, though I was reminded of how repetitive some of their compositions are..but overall very worth $25.
-
Brennser: I was up front left; lots of baseball caps, but really very polite guys...NOT smoking. With regard to the noise: I was very near the famous 930 speakers, but didn't need earplugs for Mercury Rev. The Doves drove me to the back - not far from merch. table with a bunch of local r&r celebrities...few smokers back there too. What was with the guys back by sound booth smoking THE BIGGEST HONKING CIGARS I've ever seen? Maybe they accounted for the Marlboro country ambiance... :roll: Off subj: A Post reviewer was standing next to me writing like crazy during MR's set...curious to see his review.

Pretty good show. Not as good as the last time I saw them. Jimi's voice didn't quite sound 100%

It's like Iggy Pop slipping on a puddle of Bjork's afterbirth and landing headfirst in the lobotomy kit hidden in the orchestra pit then coming out of his coma 9 months later singing Marvin Gaye tunes.

On the windswept peaks of Mount Rockolympus, Bono ejaculates his Goldschlaggeresque diety sauce into an amethyst goblet fashioned by Roky Erickson. Winged nymphs in the guise of a healthy-teated Kylie Minogue spirit the magic opalescent elixir to earth in a soft cozy fashioned from Layne Staley's death flannel and impregnate Suzi Quatro during a fevered dream about a chaotic world ruled by the MC5. In a dank, dingy Seattle manger nine months later, a child is born, surrounded by three wizened rock wisemen named Clapton, Townsend, and Page.

Mercury Rev blew away the Doves...I can't believe it...the Doves were rather boring and seemed like they were just making up the nite as it went along...I love both of these bands...I have seen the Doves everytime they have been to 930...and this was as if it was their first time outside of the playing a school dance...wonder what was up?
-

whatever he/she does, it's hilarious.
i agree with pretty much everyone else about the show, good not great.
heh, the mini-samba jam at the end of "there goes the fear" sounded exactly like what i imagined 3 english guys playing samba would sound like. i applaud the effort though.
-
doves were great. didn't play much of their new stuff.... cedar room ROCKED.
mercury rev, i never really got into them.... their lead singer is a little too anthony robbins/dr. evil for me. he was really doing a dr. evil thing toward the end when he was flexing his little muscle and shaking his arms. but they were ok.
-
Not so into the show. I found Mercury Rev to be pretentious. The music was good but the singer creeped me out. He destroyed my ability to enjoy the tunes. Doves were okay. I was too tired for a slow show. I just can't get into the new stuff. It felt rather empty.
-
Rev did blow away the Doves. Lesson for all you kiddies out there - don't always believe the media hype. I couldn't believe how utterly pedestrian the Doves were. I came to see Rev and hung around to check out the headliners and was *very* underwhelmed. Wow...kids will listen to any crap that's marketed to them.
BTW, if last night was anyone's first exposure to the Rev, that was the worst set of three shows I've been to. Make sure you catch them when they're headlining with all their gear.
-

Been listening to Doves for 6 years now...marketing had nothing to do with it...they are a great band, maybe too much of a "thinking musician" band for some..but their recorded production is outstanding, very few bands match up...yes, last night's set hasn't been their best..but to paint them as a mediocre band undeserving of the 9:30stage as a headliner is way off..

if i could ban chewing tobacco, i would. nasty, nasty stuff, and it always ends up on the floor.

Thoroughly enjoyed Doves last night. I can see how some may have been disappointed having seen other shows of theirs, but as this was my first, I had a lovely time. Loved the fact that they didn't hold back at the start, throwing out Pounding and Black and White Town early in the show and using there goes the fear as a bracket for the whole set. Nicely done.
Yes, the lead singer changed some notes (presumably) to accommodate his recent vocal cord issues which didn't let some of the songs hit their highest highs, but you still felt it regardless.
What to say of Mercury Rev. Couple songs sat real well with me, but their closer sounded like the Flaming Lips channeling Brian Adams. Wow. How bad was that?

Not unlike journalists writing free shit for a give away rag...hoping for more lucrative gigs. Who needs to know which groups were there since Hoya already knows all...oh mighty God of all things hip (even tho he wouldn't be caught dead going to any "uncool" music venues where these bands play - so he's clueless as to who they all are...)
BTW: I have it from a reliable source that if you attempt your self professed "cigarette" as a tool to menace those around you who display what you call "unacceptable" concert manners, you'll be leaving quickly with an escort in a black t-shirt, and a funny wire in his/her ear. They know who you are, dood.
-
I guess they were "secret" local rock celebrities.
:roll:
-
I wonder how fully recovered Jimi is from his recent voice injury. He clearly was not sounding his best last night. His voice was somewhat shrill and harsh compared to the previous two times I've seen Doves, and I suspect that the injury may still be a factor. When Jimi is not sounding great, I think the whole band suffers, and like most people have already said, it wasn't their best performance. But despite that, it's always great to hear songs like "The Cedar Room" and "Pounding" and "There Goes the Fear" live, and I still very much enjoyed the show. The only thing that I was at all disappointed by is that they're not closing with "Spaceface" anymore.

huh? is this a threat from the club? have i ever tried to be anonymous?
i said on a previous thread that i've blown smoke in the diretion of someone who rudely pushes through a packed crowd and proceeds to plant himself within 6 inches of my face ... i think many people have done / do the same thing, and if it's grounds for removal from the club then so be it.

The Onion: "Totally Hot Chick Also Way Psycho"
ATHENS, GA--Heather Blake, a University of Georgia business major with unbelievably beautiful eyes and a totally killer body, is also way psycho, sources close to the popular 21-year-old reported Monday.
"Heather's this weirdo combination of incredible love goddess and, like, freako banshee demon from beyond hell," said Georgia senior Brad Carver, who noted that he has been there, man, been there. "She made my freshman year a complete and total living nightmare. I made out with her once behind the stairs in the Physical Science Building. It was the single greatest moment of my life."
Campus-wide sources said the amazingly hot Blake, who works at the reception desk in the bursar's office, isn't just built like, kapow, but also has the most incredible, luscious hair ever.
"That one really hot chick from the bursar's office is way fucked in the head and everybody knows it," junior Steve Bittan said. "Don't even start with her, no matter how bad you want to."
According to Bittan, Blake gets all pissed off if someone is staring at her, but she goes out of her way to make searing, prolonged eye contact with anyone who doesn't.
"Blake The Flake, they call her," Bittan said. "I once saw her in a bikini. Oh, God, I won't even go into it."
Though Blake has never been diagnosed with a mental illness, the increasing number of reports since her arrival on campus in 1996 have caused her sanity to be called into question.
"That chick has a weird history, man. She's bad news, plain and simple," said Matt Weiler, 21, who went on a date with Blake two years ago. "I think she might have one of those attention-seeking disorders or like an inability to grasp reality or something like that."
"Shit, I've got to talk to her again, if only to hear her voice," Weiler added. "You know, she called me her soulmate for life on that night we were together."
Sophomore Dave Elgin said that on May 22, he spent over four hours fixing Blake's car, only to be told afterwards that it really meant a lot to her because the car was "a gift from a very special guy" with whom she really thought she might be falling in love. Blake then told him she wasn't sure she could ever really love the other man fully, however, after meeting someone as kind and generous as Elgin.
Other evidence of Blake's psycho mental status includes a June 3 incident in which she stayed up until 4 a.m. curled up against senior Rob Pollian on his couch, telling him all her sexual fantasies, only to become enraged when he attempted to kiss her.
A number of individuals within the desperately-trying-to-make-it-with-Heather-Blake community have even suggested that she ought to be locked up or something for all the shit she's done.
According to Bryce Meyers, 22, Blake told him last November that he was the last guy on Earth she'd ever want to go out with "because she would never want to hurt anyone so important to her," right before kissing him and running out of the room.
"I couldn't believe the kind of crap she pulled," Meyers said. "When she was doing a semester abroad in Spain, we were on the phone constantly, and I ran up this humongous phone bill talking about how I was going to come visit her over winter break. She was all like, 'I can't wait to be near you,' and 'I need to feel you close to me.' Then, when I show up in Madrid, she meets me at the airport and says, 'I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend Carlos.' I'm standing there thinking, 'Well, Christ, man, who the fuck is Carlos?'"
As so many others have, Meyers forgave Blake because of her mental condition.
"She's crazy, man. What can you do?" Meyers said. "You know, Heather used to tell me that it's really hard for her just to be happy some days. I guess it totally sucks being so beautiful because of all the expectations that are placed on you."
According to those close to Blake, the link between her mind-blowing good looks and out-of-her-tree psycho head trips is undeniable.
"Heather's just totally got everybody in the palm of her hand," said Ryan McEachern, a friend of Blake's since high school. "Obviously, having everybody always wanting her so bad has, like, screwed with her self-esteem and shit. But maybe if she just met a guy who understood the real person underneath the beauty, she could straighten out her head. I wonder if that man could be me."
Blake could not be reached for comment regarding the possibility of a relationship with McEachern, as her answering machine just kept picking up for hours even though she said she would be home, leading to speculation that she might be with that one guy from the rowing team.

...I'll show you HOW crazy if you (a) ever burn me with your cigarette; which I know won't be a mistake; or (b) blow smoke in my face. For the record, I am not a club employee. I can tell you with a high degree of certainty - having observed it - that any behavior designed to antagonize other guests on purpose, in a packed club, will probably result in an eviction...albeit a gentle one - since club employees rarely resort to physical contact.
Being called an "asshole" or sarcasticly ridiculed every time I post an opinion here is really offensive to me. Retard, cock chomper, etc. some of your other fav. disgusting insults - are offensive even when NOT directed at one personally. You're just not very "responsible" tolerant or kind at all. This is a public forum viewable by anyone - even future employers and law school admissions officers. YOU may be the one who needs to take it down a notch. Comprendez?

ok... private messaging maybe in order here.

what i described earlier is i think much more subtle than what you're describing ... i simply don't tilt my head up and exhale upwards, is there a rule in the club that all smoke must be exhaled upwardly?
when someone pushes into a packed crowd to grab a space, i see all sorts of people giving subtle and not-so-subtle hints for the guy to get out of their personal space (i.e., a gentle "misplaced" elbow, talking really loudly to their friend about how annoying it is when people push up into a crowd, lighting up a cigarette, etc), and i've never a) seen anyone tossed for it or b) even realized it was "an issue"

"There are more interesting ways to spend 45 minutes than listening to "The Secret Migration," the new album from post-psychedelic rock trio Mercury Rev. A few suggestions: Staring at your thumb. Making a paper clip chain. Sorting laundry."

"There are more interesting ways to spend 45 minutes than listening to "The Secret Migration," the new album from post-psychedelic rock trio Mercury Rev. A few suggestions: Staring at your thumb. Making a paper clip chain. Sorting laundry."

HAH!
can't comment on the album, but it's good to see the post embracing some good old-fashioned snark ... their reviews are a little too buttoned-down for me sometimes ...

Next time you have trouble with sleazy guys, threaten to contact their future employers or grad schools.

how dare i? how DARE I??
you sarcastically jabbed at me ... i obviously interpreted this as a vicious attack and assumed that you would physically harm me when you next saw me
therefore, drastic steps call for drastic measures. hope you enjoy those interest rates!

That's so nice your trading nicknames here...does he call you Hoy? Quit hiding behind popular board members, eh, Sonic? I'm all for you getting into Law School. (A) the world really needs more putz lawyers which I'm confident you'll be; and (B) maybe we could get thru an entire thread without your Tourette's outbursts of foul language or your freekin' misogynistic opinions - cause you might be studying on occasion.
For the record, I've actually laughed at some of your postings, but only those that don't viciously attack another for their view/tastes/opinions; or resorted to disgusting language. How old are you anyway? Twelve?
Strange threats? There was no threat in anything I wrote except to say that I'd go crazy if you burned me or menaced me with cigarette smoke. You really are a wuss.

wow, i'm glad i didn't go. i was debating on whether to see this or monade/zincs at the cat, and monade won out. monade is laetitia sadier's (from stereolab) other band. they were pretty underwhelming themselves, like stereolab lite. i caught some of the zincs set and i liked them, as they remind me of something between the sea and cake and tindersticks.
mercury rev used to be one of my absolute favorite bands, but i'm really not pleased with the direction they've taken. i hear that the new album is awfully pretentious and contrived. while i don't mind the last two (despite the vocals certainly being annoying), i LOVE their first three records. those albums are some of the best examples of early '90s shoegazer noise rock with post-punk and art-rock influences. david baker (who left after 1993) sang a lot on those records and jonathan donohue's vocals took a backseat and were much more subdued. they were more fun and spontaneous, and now i find their material to be increasingly calculated and grandiose. the rev used to be a rock band, but in striving to be something more, they've lost a lot of the energy and whimsy they once had.
i saw doves in 2001 and thought they were better than i expected, but i haven't seen them since then.
also, the score as i see it: hoya 58, bad sushi 2. get a sense of humor.

i really think you're mistaking me for someone else on this board ... i don't post nudie pictures, i'm certainly not a misogynist, and i often rip on people (rashly and at times unfairly, i might add) for politically incorrect statements

uhhhhh, ok. it was pretty obvious that you were threatening to a) have me kicked out of the club, b) contact my law school and future employers ... which, frankly, is crazy talk
and what's your aversion to "foul" language? does the word "fuck" really offend you? do your parents not allow you to see R-rated movies?

i am not sure what you meant by this , but if you meant in any way that i am in cahoots with Hoya, you are very wrong.
if you were saying that I am hiding behind board members, thats also wrong.
if you were saying that I AM a popular board member, well thanks but thats probably wrong too.

Doves Take Wing at 9:30 Club
Washington Post
Wednesday, May 25, 2005; C03
In the wake of Radiohead -- and the lingering influence of the shoe-gazer generation before them -- latter-day Brit-pop has abandoned the cheeky jingle-jangles of yesteryear for more emotive and ethereal pastures. No band marks this shift more clearly than Doves, who visited the 9:30 club on Monday, tempering their new-school crescendos with a touch of old-school sass.
The Manchester outfit sent heads bobbing and toes tapping early with the buoyant swing of "Black and White Town," a track inspired by the Jam, from the latest Doves album, "Some Cities." The band never recaptured that early magic, but came close with handsome versions of "Last Broadcast" and "Caught by the River" (a song you crazy kids might remember hearing on "The O.C."). The capacity crowd devoured both of these tunes, and many others. "You rock harder than Coldplay!" one fan cried out between songs. "Not hard, is it?" head Dove Jimi Goodwin shrugged.
That fleeting moment of rock-swagger seemed downright humble after an hour of cloying histrionics from Mercury Rev frontman Jonathan Donahue. The opening act coasted through an almost laughable set of new-age-inspired schlock, Donahue gesticulating like a poor man's Freddie Mercury all the while.
Video projections of sunsets, dolphins and flowers in time-lapse bloom flickered on a backdrop during the Rev performance. Some images were accompanied by inspirational phrases such as, "Never give up -- Just give." How did these once-great students of minimalist composer Tony Conrad devolve into the rock-and-roll embodiment of a Hallmark card?

i was thinking the same...he and celeste disappeared shortly after a very rude interaction between he and i. then i realized that i'd never seen rhett apologize or back down from anyone no matter how out of line he was. in the end, is it really worth it to apologize? doubt he would reciprocate.

Hey, I think this "temporary exile" is a great idea, but only if it's UNILATERAL. Oh, and as for me "contacting" a certain paranoid individual's law school, here's the actual text of what I wrote: " This is a public forum viewable by anyone - even future employers and law school admissions officers. YOU may be the one who needs to take it down a notch. Comprendez? " Reading comprehension is not a great strength of said paranoid person. As for Rhett: I suspect he already read that...so he knows.
